Ask Lemmy

Indian and Mexican. As a pescatarian married to someone who can't eat soy or eggs, we're already more or less doing that. Though Italian will be missed. Fourth would be American because unfortunately that's what we are

Mexican, Indian. Hands down.

Though there some other traditional foods I haven't had yet (South American, African)

1. Mexican, what is life without salsa?
2. French, can't miss with those standards

Mexican food and Chinese food - that should cover me pretty good. RIP Italian food, sushi, Indian, and American french fries.

Mexican and Italian. Both have very rich regional traditions with a ton of variety. Of course, Mexican food is a blend of Native American and European traditions, and Italian food (often) depends heavily on New World crops like tomatoes and corn, so these strict delineations are not real

Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

1. Indian
2. Mexican

I try to eat mostly vegetarian at home, and Indian recipes are my go-to for that. Indian food is the best tasting vegetarian food in my opinion. I was tempted to put Chinese here because I make tofu stir fry somewhat frequently, but I go with Indian recipes more often.

Mexican for the second choice because that gives you huevos rancheros, Mexican rice and beans, and homemade corn tortilla chips with guacamole. And breakfast burritos from the place down the street from me.

A famous Anthony Bourdain quote about Japan states: "If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it. Most chefs I know would agree with me". He also famously described his first experience in Tokyo as being like "taking LSD for the first time," a transformative experience that changed his perspective on the world.

I agree, for me it would be Japanese food, it's so diverse and so refined.

Japanese and Mexican I think.

Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.

Indian or vietnamese because both have amazing vegan options

1. Ethnic
2. Fusion

Figure that pretty much covers all of my bases.

Pizza. Endless combinations available.

Chinese food! More specifically, Sichuan and Northwestern style food.

I don't need to pick a second one.

I natively cook California Fusion. Which is, uh, everything, everywhere, all at once.

Thinking of cuisines as regional or ethnic is so 1900s.

Japanese or Mexican probably.

Chinese, mostly Cantonese food, because I'm just so used to it.

Japanese, because sushi, ramen, robatayaki etc...

I just realized I actually haven't tried much food lol, too picky to try new things... sort of just ate whatever I grew up with...

What does the average westerner eat btw? I feel like my life is just a small bubble.

1: something East Asian; Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai. I’d be happy with any of them, I just can’t decide.

2: something Hispanic/South American, basically just Mexican food.

With any two in those categories there’s enough variety for me to spend my life eating

How has no one said French? French for me please

Peruvian and Mexican

Japanese and Mexican for the sake of the question. It's what I grew up eating, and I hate the idea of being without my familiar comfort foods.

Truthfully though, I love eating too much to limit myself regionally or to just two countries. There's so much I haven't tried.

India is an entire sub continent of food, its like saying "european"

Japanese
Indian

I could probably live forever off of Korean and Caribbean food.

Italian and Mexican

Probably vietnamese and mexican

1. Thai
2. Lean

Asian and Italian. I’ll go Japanese if you want more specific than Asian, ooh or maybe Thai. Hard one

Korean and British

Japanese and Italian. What is life without katsukaree and pizza?

Mediterranean and mediterranean

Middle Eastern and Indian has some of the best vegan food.
